A panther was today spotted at various places in Jaipur.
CCTV footage shows the panther wandering into the Takhteshahi road area of the city.
It was also caught on camera entering Sawai Man Singh (SMS) School in the Rambagh area of the city, reports The Free Press Journal's Sangeeta Pranvendra.
Images also show the panther leaping from one residential building to another to another within the city.
The predator is believed to have strayed from the Jhalana forest area which runs a panther safari.
Forest officials have been searching for the panther and even made use of drones to scan the nearby areas. The search for the panther was stopped after it became dark and will resume in the morning.
SMS school students in the meantime have been given a holiday tomorrow.
